Bill Gates drinks water that used to be human poop
Bill Gates recently got to check out the Omniprocessor, an ingenious machine designed and built by Janicki Bioenergy, which turns human waste into water and electricity. In places without good waste treatment plants, it could be a real game-changer.

Steam-distilled water is not really suitable for drinking because of its low ph of about 5.2 unless minerals are added to it for taste and to counter the acidity of the water. In areas where water is scarce there is usually a lack of nutritious food available which can lead to the body lacking in important minerals that could be obtained from a healthy diet.
On gallon jugs of distilled water there is no mention that it could be used for drinking. It is usually used in steam mops and clothes irons.
But distilled water is certainly better than no water at all and mineral dispensers could be added to this contraption too.

That is the product of people with little real world experience but a lot of cash.
Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this? Why do people have no access to safe sanitation or drinking water? Yup, that's right. Because they can't afford the equipment. So how exactly are they going to afford this or afford to pay the entrepreneur for the input and output of this equipment? Not to mention it requires infrastructure for input and output. Pretty unrealistic and naive.
Doesn't this sound more logical? http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_pritchard_invents_a_water_filter

All the water on this planet, used to be in someones poop. If you are lucky enough you get to drink a watermolecule, which has been inside a T-Rex.

@3 the water is ideal for crops because the machine also produces furtilizer. and that is a huge game changer.it is not hard to add nutricions to the water but getting the polution out is.
@4 remember bill gates is one of the richest man in the world, he donated half his fortune to charity and done a great deal to help thirth world country's food medication etcetc. he will probly support this project to bring it to where it is needed. he probly not aiming to gain a profit from this project.

#10 and #11 It didn't say he would install it. It said an entrepreneur would and would benefit financially.
Even if he did fund it, would he also fund the infrastructure needed? Such as sewer system for collection and electric system for output so it could be sustained?
